Film Quest 2014: The Challenge

Each year, I keep track of the movies I watch for the first time. In past years, I set a numeric goal. Last year, I even incorporated a percentage of movies on the list which had to be at least 20 years old. Because 2014 is going to be a bit different in terms of some things going on in my personal life, I don’t want to set a numeric goal. The goal that I am setting should be almost as challenging, but significantly more rewarding.

There are certain films, which I’ve listed below, which represent holes in my movie viewer resume. They’re films that I should’ve already seen, but for one reason or another, I haven’t. So this year, I’m challenging myself to see those films. For some people, this wouldn’t seem like a difficult task. But I can’t just set them up atop my Netflix queue, which I share with my wife, and these aren’t the only movies I’m going to see this year. It may not be a substantially difficult challenge, but it’s my challenge.
